Bangui has been affected by violence and displacement over the past 4 years and currently hosts over 50,000 internally displaced people. The crisis has put significant strain on municipal services, which have lacked the required resources and capacity to meet the evolving needs of Bangui’s increasingly vulnerable population. As a consequence, the provision of basic services has become heavily reliant on international humanitarian stakeholders. Due to a multiplicity of factors, linkages between humanitarian stakeholders and municipal actors have remained weak, contributing to sub-optimal coordination and affecting the efficiency of humanitarian planning and targeting. With the recent elections and a renewed hope for stability in the CAR, strengthening this linkage must become a priority in order to support the recovery effort and the re-establishment of municipal services.
